[ Someone's found the music composition app. Someone may also have finally published a melody and uploaded it after days of fiddling around with the instruments on the app.

Please enjoy the attempt at the very popular Eorzean song, Pa-Paya until it annoys you. When it's done, the screen will show a very happy looking blond man with a friendly smile and strange horns looking at everyone, strumming some notes on his lyre until he speaks. ]

'tis been some suns since my arrival, and what a fantastic world this is. To think that not only instruments hide within this contraption, but the ability to send mine own image and voice to many others as though I were right before them!

Pray, indulge my queries- does the melody ring familiar to any? Do chocobo and moogles dance in delight in your own worlds? Do dragons sing to the choir of their horde? Or perhaps, do Sky Pirates race through the clouds, inspiring all with tales of adventure?

I've heard people of many worlds have been brought here with similar tales as mine own. Perhaps you could share your own?

I am called Klair, the Dragonsong, and I would be honoured to put your tales to inspiration for my songs. Or perhaps- inspiration for adornments and attire for yourself, inspired by your own journey?

[ Look at his snazzy dressing and pretty horn jewelry! He'll give it a little tap to indicate. ]

Oh, and if you've seen a light-haired miqo'te man who likes to take things apart, please forgive him. I would also love to know if anyone has seen any beautiful viera, elezen, hyur, au ra, or perhaps even a little lalafell around here too. I may be looking for my companions, and ache to know if they've arrived here as well.

[ With a flourish, he gives a bow to the screen. ]

I await your responses, and I do hope I may be able to fulfill any future requests once I learn more melodies in this land. Perhaps some personal instruction? I'll make it worth your while. ♥


[ And the feed ends as he winks at the screen and turns it off! The text will also be transcribed as he speaks, because he found the text-to-speech function. Oops. I'm so sorry for this obnoxiousness please forgive me ]

[ Gah!! He looks like he's been stabbed when Megumi is mentioned, and he quickly shakes his head. ]

I-If she is truly here, then please speak not of my presence before her! You know that better than anyone!

[ Megumi will kill him, even if he hasn't done anything! Anyway!! ]

I need naught but mine own memories and heart, my beloved lotus! Surely you've kept me in your thoughts while we've been apart! Though I just saw you... [ He murmurs, now, wondering if this is a similar situation to Dakki Ballard- ]

Why have you concealed yourself, my dearest flower? There's no need to fear, here. It seems even mine own horns are accepted without shame!

[ Sen, what's going on!! ]

[hoasen]

[She didn't even know she wasn't meant to speak Megumi's name around him! WHO IS HE!!!]

But...why? Ah! I do not mean to pry, if you do not wish to say. Your relationship with Megumi, that is.

[This sure is going places.]

Have you mistaken me for someone else? Despite the fact we share the same name? I truly deeply apologise I...do not believe I have met you. Or been to Eorzea. O...r have horns.

[Also never mind familiar, it sounds very much like he's very affectionate with her.]

[dragonsongs]

[ He looks startled. Then- ]

Oh. [ If he was a puppy, his ears would be drooping!! ] You're- like the other. You've her face, and her voice- but your memories are different.

[ He sighs, lifting a hand to the side of his head. ]

... she is my sister, in a sense. The older sister of my future eternal bond- Gareki. Her younger brother. Mayhaps you know his name, then?

[ Megumi always brings Gareki up no matter where. He looks so dejected now. ]

A thousand pardons, sweet lady- I should have guessed you were not my heart's jewel. Oh, what a woeful situation... and I do not even have Savia's picto...graphs to prove mine on words...

[ Why doesn't this technology exist back home damnit!! ]

[hoasen]

[WHAT'S HAPPENING!! WHY IS HE DROOPING. Now she feels horrible! Because she knows how it would feel to be forgotten. It happens too often here, even.]

I...I apologise, truly! I do not understand? Are you saying...I...have someone just like me back home?

[That's equally shocking, actually.]

Megumi has spoken of Gareki often, though now that you have mentioned it, she never has spoken your name. [HMMMM.]

...No, I truly should be the one to apologise, this must feel awful. It's...is she close to you? The one who I share this face with.

Goodness, you have photographs as well?

[Damn, that would've helped.]

[dragonsongs]

[ A fond look enters his eyes, though- she's so cute, he can't resist. How could he stay sad at that face? ]

It may be for the best that she did not. [ Megumi would likely call him names and say some unflattering things- that may or may not be true, cough. ] It just means I can get to know the one who wears the face and sings the voice of my beloved.

[ He does shake his head at that- ]

As for photographs, 'tis a technology beyond my understanding. Certainly not like the ones here. But there are etchings- which I am decent at.

[ He lifts a sketch he has, trying to show her on the screen- it's a young au ra, who with some imagination, definitely resembles the lady on the screen! ]

Can you see this?

[hoasen]

[Klair, your weakness is showing you ho. Not that she knows this! Totally fresh opinion! What a nice guy! She does feel bad that he's having to be reminded of this other Sen, however. Especially when he says she looks and even sounds the same as his "beloved".]

Then, well, a good first impression for the both of us, no? I'll try to keep it as casual as possible if Megumi ever discovers you are here.

[Etchings, though? That sounds interesting, so she leans forward to look at his work while he's messing around with it.]

Certainly have not seen anything like this in so long, I can see...

...it.

[...Oh my god. Her eyes widen as she sees the young au ra, who...well, aside from the horns, scales and tail, looks like her.]

How?

[dragonsongs]

I apologize for any imperfections. True beauty can never be captured in one place alone.

[ Though... hm. ]

It seems like the Matriarch didn't speak to you about this... but perhaps, she too, wished to know you as you, and not as the being she was more familiar with.

[ He's just a sucker for loving, but he's also understanding. ]

To have found another you... my heart sings in joy. Perhaps this place won't be as lonely now- if you will have me, sweet Lady Sen.

[ HE IS LAYING IT ON THICK PLEASE LOVE HIM. ]

[hoasen]

[THIS GUY.] I could always say you only drew it as such because I'm standing right here. [Haha, being a bit of a skeptic. Maybe.]

So Megumi knew the one in your world...

[Hmm...wonder what that means? Even if she was holding it back so that she could get to know her as she is, wouldn't it be rather...well, stressful?]

I...you're asking me to have you? What was Sen to you back home?

[LOOK, SHE NEEDS TO KNOW.]

[dragonsongs]

Words to wound me, my beauty. If I was unable to capture it, tis a failing on me, not on the sight before me.

[ He does lay it on thick, but he actually does mean it. ]

As for what Sen was to me... why, I loved her. She's a sister to Megumi and Savia, as well as many, and my love for her cannot be quantified. Both heartbroken and pleased was I when she wedded the handsome Sivert.
